As you all know this has been my biggest issue with losing weight and being healthy. I'm actually really grateful for this economic downturn (I'm ready for it to go back up though) because it has made us cinch up our belts a little bit and, for the most part, stop eating out. We have been consisting on mostly a fast food diet. I'm talking 3 meals a day. We were spending between $800 and $1000 a month on eating out and the occasional groceries. It was not healthy for us and I'm glad that we're kicking the habit. I've been able - so far - to cut our bill almost in half by buying groceries and cooking.
Here is a great article on eating at home, cooking and grocery shopping. All while saving money.
It is my goal to continue doing the grocery shopping and cooking so that we can eat healthy and save money. I am also looking into couponing to save even more. I have a friend who spends $50 a month on all her groceries, diapers, formula, toilet paper - EVERYTHING. How nice would that be? It seems like every time I go into the grocery store I spend at least $100. Yikes!

Hey gwen if you get a system down for the coupons let me know! I spend $100.00 a week on groceries, and would love to cut my bill in half!
ME too....I know it is a lot of work...Elisa used to do it and knew someone that would get it to where the store sometimes owed her money!
